Sat Nov 30 14:40:00 UTC 2024: ## 49ers Waive Wide Receiver Tayler Bell After Disappointing Season

**SANTA CLARA, CA** – The San Francisco 49ers announced Friday they have waived wide receiver Tayler Bell, ending his brief stint with the team. Bell, a seventh-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, struggled to make an impact despite appearing in nearly every game over the past two seasons.

Despite increased playing time following an ACL tear suffered by teammate Brandon Aiyuk, Bell recorded only two catches for 22 yards in 2024.

If unclaimed, Bell will become a free agent and can sign with any team.
